    Fantastic work from Sean & Harry. Prompt, reliable and did a brilliant job of removing four big trees from our garden. Would definitely recommend this company.

    Came on a Sunday to quote, booked the job on for rhe next week, turned up on time and felled and removed the tree with no fuss or problem. Cleaned up well after themselves. Fully recommend as everything was fine.

    Excellent service from site visit to completion of works

    Posted 27 April

    From the first site visit, to today's completion of works, Sean has been a pleasure to work with. He has always been punctual, knowlegeable and professional. He felled a very large, mature flowering cherry, a smaller cherry and a whippy eucalyptus. The site was left tidy and all the waste was chipped with the larger timber taken away to be repurposed. We have no hesitation in recommending Sothern Tree Works for any tree surgery needs
